If you are an energy-conscious RV owner, the Go Power Slim solar charging system provides clean, renewable power and independence from the grid. This kit comes with everything you need to charge your RV batteries with sunlight. Using a solar panel, this system collects solar energy to create DC power that passes through a solar controller to charge your RV batteries.
The solar charge controller is compatible with modern RVC multiplexing systems. These systems simplify wiring in RVs, and allow the use of touchscreen control panels that let you control lights, slide outs, heaters, air conditioners, pumps, and more. RVC systems that allow for monitoring solar arrays can be wired to this controller to let you know the system status, eliminating the need for a dedicated mounted remote.
The charging process starts with the solar panel, which installs on the roof of your RV. When solar energy interacts with the silicon cells in the panel, it generates a flow of DC electrical current that charges your RV's batteries. Each of the monocrystalline cells is made from a single crystal of silicon, so the electrons that create the current have more space to move, making this panel more efficient than one with polycrystalline cells. And in optimal sunlight conditions, the panel produces 190 watts per hour.
The silicon cells are set between a cushioned backing material and tempered solar glass to withstand the elements. The glass has low-iron content to provide exceptional transparency, which ensures maximum sunlight collection. Finally, the panel is framed with anodized marine-grade aluminum to resist rust and corrosion.
An adjustable mount kit (sold separately) can increase your solar panel performance by angling it for maximum sun exposure. This kit replaces the panel's existing brackets and allows it to tilt at 3 different angles. This also improves solar charging during winter months when the sun is lower in the sky.
The solar controller prevents harmful overcharging by adjusting the power generated by the solar panels before it reaches your batteries. It uses maximum power point tracking technology to compare solar output to battery voltage and converts that output to an optimal amperage. Typically, this type of technology is a good fit for larger systems with higher voltages.
Using a multistage charging system, the controller automatically switches voltages while the battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge, but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. The controller is compatible with multiple battery types and includes preset charging profiles for sealed/gel, AGM, flooded/wet cell, and lithium batteries.
Charging Modes
With Maximum Power Boost Technology, you can simply press a button to activate Bulk mode for the highest charging voltage. This lets you quickly top off your battery bank before the end of the day by capturing as much power as possible.
This solar controller is built to charge two battery banks and has terminals for a primary and secondary battery. Your primary battery will receive the full current until it is completely charged. Then, your secondary battery will start to draw the charge current.
The backlit, surface mounted digital display acts as an information center for your solar panel output. It shows the charging current, battery voltage, and battery state of charge. It also allows you to input your battery type and choose a charging profile.
It includes a Bluetooth function that lets you connect the controller to your smartphone or tablet with the free Go Power! Connect app. With this app, you can wirelessly view the same live battery information included on the display. Also, you can control your battery profile and toggle Maximum Power Boost Technology mode.
Lastly, the controller includes several built-in safety features to help protect your equipment. The charging process will shut down if the controller starts to overheat and when an overcurrent is detected. Also, if the battery or solar panel is wired incorrectly, it activates a reverse polarity alarm.
The system includes a 190-watt solar panel, a 30-amp MPPT solar controller, MC4 cables, and all the necessary installation hardware.
Note: This kit may require more wiring and additional parts depending on your RV setup.

This charging system uses a rigid 190-watt solar panel and solar controller to provide an extra boost to your RV batteries while you are on the road. MPPT controller optimizes solar panel output to charge batteries faster and more efficiently.Problem: Wire connectors and ring connectors were to small for wiring . Personal: The Monotor for the system is to small, and all information is drab dark LED. Works fine but very hard to see and very hard to read if your not real close. Needs to be larger and colored LED information read out. Product: Functions well and pretty well plug and play. Tech support: I’m not an electriction, but have electrical savy. We called tech support and (I’m hard of hearing, but thought his name was Nico), was very courteous and patient we me. Would recommend the produce except for the very small hard to read monitor.
Very satisfied! All the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.. was very suprised to even get help on a sunday afternoon after hours . I will definitely order from Etrailer before shopping anywhere els !! I will pass their expertise to all my friends !
